A Convicted Election Denier Went to Prison. Now, She Might Help Run Elections in a California County
Curtis says Peters would serve as a consultant and would not have access to voting systems.
- Shasta County Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis announced plans Sunday to hire former Colorado official Tina Peters as a consultant for the November election, just weeks before voters head to the polls.
- Peters, the former clerk and recorder for Mesa County, Colorado, was convicted in 2024 for a 2021 voting system breach; prosecutors said she helped an unauthorized person gain access to voting equipment.
- Assistant Registrar Brent Turner remains in his role, contradicting Curtis's claim of a vacancy, while the Shasta County Board of Supervisors censured Curtis this month for managerial misconduct and threatening staff.
- U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla condemned the proposal Monday, arguing that Peters' criminal convictions should bar her from involvement in California elections amid broader concerns about election security.
- Although voters rejected Curtis's bid for reelection in June, he retains personnel authority until January, while courts continue blocking portions of Measure B, the county's controversial voting restriction initiative.
